However, it has always been believed to be about 13, 000 years ago. Now, evidence from the Chiquihuite Cave in Zacatecas, Central Mexico, seems to suggest that prehistoric humans may have been living in North America as early as 30, 000 years ago. Dr. Ciprian Ardelean, of the Autonomous University of Zacatecas who led the groundbreaking re- search, first became aware of the cave in May 2010. Getting to the cave located 2, 750 meters above sea level required a 45-minute truck ride to the base and an uphill climb over a rough terrain. However, Dr. Ardelean and his team found enough clues to make the difficult journey three additional times-in 2012, 2016, and 2017. The archeologists’ efforts revealed many artifacts including over 1, 900 stone tools from multiple layers of the cave. The scientists found that most of the tools were between 16, 000 and 13, 000 years old. However, 239 artifacts unearthed from the deepest layer of the cave dated back an astonishing 30, 000 years! While the genetic material gained in the cave was only plant and animal DNA, the team did find evidence of sulfur, potassium and zinc elements that could indicate human activities such as killing animals. Dr. Ardelean says the absence of human DNA confirms that the early people visited the cave for short periods of time. The researchers are unsure of the ancient humans’ origins or the path they took to get to America. They guess the groups were tribes (部落) who moved from place to place and went extinct at some point during their migrations. Dr. Ardelean says, “We don’t know who they were, where they came from or where they went. They’re a complete enigma. We falsely assume that the native populations in the Americas to- day are direct descendants from the earliest Americans, but now we don’t think that is the case. ” Archeologist Loren Davis, from Oregon State University, is unsure that the artifacts recovered are tools. The researcher says, “If it’s true that people were in Zacatecas 32, 000 years ago, that changes everything-it more than doubles the time people have been in the Americas. I’m not going to say it’s impossible, but if all they found are broken rocks without any hard evidence, it’s natural for people to challenge the conclusion. ” 8. What did Dr. Ciprian Ardelean do? A. He sold hundreds of artifacts. B. He explored the cave four times. C. He made the cave world-known. D. He collected artifacts from the cave. 9. What shakes the traditional belief concerning North America? A. Metal elements unearthed from the cave. B. Plant and animal DNA discovered in the cave. C. The stone tools from the cave’s deepest layer. D. The artifacts from the upper layers of the cave. 10. What does the underlined word “enigma” in Paragraph 5 mean? A. Problem. B. Breakthrough. C. Appeal. D. Mystery. 11. In which column of a newspaper can we read this passage? A. Archaeology. B. Anecdote. C. Economy. D. Literature. D In the waves of human exploration into space, our brave Chinese people have never stopped the pace of advancing. In just half a century, China has made remarkable space exploration success. After landing probes (探测器) on the lunar and Martian surfaces, China has begun to set its exploratory sights on the core of our solar system — the sun. Named Xihe after the sun goddess in ancient Chinese mythology, the 500-kilogram Chinese H-Alpha Solar Explorer satellite was launched on Oct. 14 from the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center in Shanxi province. The spacecraft is China’s first space-based solar telescope and is designed to work for at least three years, Wang Wei, project manager of the satellite, told China Daily. The H-alpha band is one of the best spectral (光谱的) lines to study solar activity, according to the Global Times. “The instrument is able to observe and record changes in the sun’s physical elements like its temperature and speed, facilitating scientists’ studies about the dynamics and physics during a solar eruption,” Wang told China Daily. Several Chinese satellites, such as the Fengyun 3E meteorological satellite, have carried equipment that can collect solar data, but Xihe is the first one intended for solar observation. “Since solar activity has many effects on life on Earth, it is important for mankind to study the sun,” Zhao Jian, a senior official at the China National Space Administration, told China Daily. Since the 1960s, NASA has sent dozens of solar orbiters to circle the sun, and in 2004, the Genesis spacecraft returned a sample of solar wind. The most recently launched solar mission was Parker Solar Probe in 2018. Europe and Japan also have solar missions, according to the South China Morning Post. “Our country is ranked No. 2 in the world in terms of published research papers on solar observations, but all of the satellite-generated data used by our scientists are from foreign spacecraft,” Zhao told China Daily. “Xihe will put an end to the dependence on foreign satellites, and we will share its products with researchers around the world.” 12. What do we know about Xihe? A. It is expected to work for five years. B. It is a half-ton scientific research satellite. C It is named after an ancient Chinese scientist. D. It is the world’s first solar observation satellite. 13. What is the main task of Xihe according to the text? A. To observe other satellites around the sun. B. To adjust the temperature and speed of the sun. C. To study how solar activity affects life on Earth. D. To monitor changes in the sun’s physical elements. 14. Why is it essential to do research on the sun? A. It helps scientists learn more about solar history. B. Solar eruptions may bring human beings disasters. C. Our reliance on foreign satellites will come to an end. D. Creatures on Earth are greatly affected by solar activity. 15. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about? A. The advantages of the Xihe satellite. B. The significance of the Xihe mission. C. The history of China’s space exploration. D. The ways satellite-generated data are collected.

I smiled back at her. She was looking more relaxed even though she was still busy doing her job. I have noticed her several times this last few months and she always looks so much happier now. Tonight when I talked with her I noticed her name tag. Her name is Pamela. Pamela works at the express checkouts in a busy supermarket. She deals with problems when the self-service checkout experiences a problem (no price on product, machine problems, etc.). She monitors these checkouts and usually has hardly dealt with one complaint before another is created. When I first talked to Pamela, I had called her to the checkout I was using. There wasn’t any problem with the checkout though. What all I cared was about Pamela. She looked tired and was under a lot of stress as she quickly moved from one checkout to the next. It’s a bit of a fire-fighting job. I told Pamela that she needed to slow down. I told her she wasn’t getting paid enough to be working as hard as she was working. I told her that we, the customers, could wait and it was very bad for her health to be putting herself under such pressure. I told her that our expectations were not as hard as the ones she set for herself. Pamela told me she would slow down. I could tell she was touched that not only did I notice her stress but I chose to talk to her about it and was worried about her health. I gently told her things had to change. I told her I would be looking out for her in future to see if she had taken my advice on board.

However, 239 artifacts unearthed from the deepest layer of the cave dated back an astonishing 30, 000 years!(考古学家的努力揭示了许多文物，包括来自洞穴多层的1900多件石器。科学家们发现，大多数工具都有16000到13000年的历史。然而，从洞穴最深处出土的239件文物可以追溯到令人惊讶的30000年前！)”可知，从洞穴最深处发现的石器动摇了北美的传统想法。故选C。 【10题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线单词前一句话“We don’t know who they were, where they came from or where they went. (我们不知道他们是谁，从哪里来，到哪里去)”可知，科学家们不了解古代人类情况。因此划线单词的意思为“谜”。故选D。 【11题详解】 文章出处题。通读全文并结合第一段最后一句话“Now, evidence from the Chiquihuite Cave in Zacatecas, Central Mexico, seems to suggest that prehistoric humans may have been living in North America as early as 30, 000 years ago.(现在，来自墨西哥中部扎卡特卡斯的奇奎特洞穴的证据似乎表明，史前人类可能早在30000年前就生活在北美)”可知，文章介绍了一项考古发现，因此最有可能在报纸的考古专栏中读到这篇文章。故选A。 D In the waves of human exploration into space, our brave Chinese people have never stopped the pace of advancing. In just half a century, China has made remarkable space exploration success. After landing probes (探测器) on the lunar and Martian surfaces, China has begun to set its exploratory sights on the core of our solar system — the sun. Named Xihe after the sun goddess in ancient Chinese mythology, the 500-kilogram Chinese H-Alpha Solar Explorer satellite was launched on Oct. 14 from the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center in Shanxi province. The spacecraft is China’s first space-based solar telescope and is designed to work for at least three years, Wang Wei, project manager of the satellite, told China Daily. The H-alpha band is one of the best spectral (光谱的) lines to study solar activity, according to the Global Times. “The instrument is able to observe and record changes in the sun’s physical elements like its temperature and speed, facilitating scientists’ studies about the dynamics and physics during a solar eruption,” Wang told China Daily. Several Chinese satellites, such as the Fengyun 3E meteorological satellite, have carried equipment that can collect solar data, but Xihe is the first one intended for solar observation. “Since solar activity has many effects on life on Earth, it is important for mankind to study the sun,” Zhao Jian, a senior official at the China National Space Administration, told China Daily. Since the 1960s, NASA has sent dozens of solar orbiters to circle the sun, and in 2004, the Genesis spacecraft returned a sample of solar wind. The most recently launched solar mission was Parker Solar Probe in 2018. Europe and Japan also have solar missions, according to the South China Morning Post. “Our country is ranked No. 2 in the world in terms of published research papers on solar observations, but all of the satellite-generated data used by our scientists are from foreign spacecraft,” Zhao told China Daily. “Xihe will put an end to the dependence on foreign satellites, and we will share its products with researchers around the world.” 12. What do we know about Xihe? A It is expected to work for five years. B. It is a half-ton scientific research satellite. C. It is named after an ancient Chinese scientist. D. It is the world’s first solar observation satellite. 13. What is the main task of Xihe according to the text? A. To observe other satellites around the sun. B. To adjust the temperature and speed of the sun. C. To study how solar activity affects life on Earth. D. To monitor changes in the sun’s physical elements. 14. Why is it essential to do research on the sun? A. It helps scientists learn more about solar history. B. Solar eruptions may bring human beings disasters. C. Our reliance on foreign satellites will come to an end. D. Creatures on Earth are greatly affected by solar activity. 15. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about? A. The advantages of the Xihe satellite. B. The significance of the Xihe mission. C. The history of China’s space exploration. D. The ways satellite-generated data are collected. 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述在人类探索太空的浪潮中，勇敢的中国人民从未停止前进的步伐。在月球和火星表面着陆探测器后，中国开始将其探测目标放在我们太阳系的核心——太阳上。10月14日，中国H-Alpha太阳探测卫星在山西省太原卫星发射中心发射升空。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Named Xihe after the sun goddess in ancient Chinese mythology, the 500-kilogram Chinese H-Alpha Solar Explorer satellite was launched on Oct. 14 from the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center in Shanxi province.”（10月14日，这颗重达500公斤的中国H-Alpha太阳探测卫星在山西省太原卫星发射中心发射升空，以中国古代神话中的太阳女神命名为“羲和”。）可知，这颗太阳探测器重达500公斤，也就是半吨，它以中国古代神话中的太阳女神命名为“羲和”，在山西省太原卫星发射中心发射升空，“羲和”是一颗半吨重的科学研究卫星。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段““The instrument is able to observe and record changes in the sun’s physical elements like its temperature and speed, facilitating scientists’ studies about the dynamics and physics during a solar eruption,” Wang told China Daily.”（“该仪器能够观察和记录太阳物理元素的变化，如温度和速度，有助于科学家研究太阳喷发期间的动力学和物理，”王告诉《中国日报》。）可知，这颗探测卫星的任务是观察和记录太阳物理元素的变化。故选D。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段““Since solar activity has many effects on life on Earth, it is important for mankind to study the sun,” Zhao Jian, a senior official at the China National Space Administration, told China Daily.”（中国国家航天局高级官员赵健告诉《中国日报》：“由于太阳活动对地球上的生命有许多影响，所以研究太阳对人类来说很重要。”）可知，因为太阳活动对地球上的生命影响很多，所以要去研究太阳。故选D。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Xihe will put an end to the dependence on foreign satellites, and we will share its products with researchers around the world.”（羲和将结束对外国卫星的依赖，我们将与世界各地的研究人员分享其产品。）可知，本段主要告诉读者羲和探测器在我国的航天事业上有着重大的意义。故选B。 E The Taj Mahal Shah Jahan finished building the Taj Mahal in 1648.

D 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了著名古迹泰姬陵的背景、构造及布局。 【16题详解】 根据上文“Shah Jahan finished building the Taj Mahal in 1648. He was a rich and powerful emperor, and he built the Taj Mahal as a memorial for his wife.( Shah Jahan于1648年完成了泰姬陵的建造。他是一个有钱有势的皇帝，他建造了泰姬陵作为他妻子的纪念)”以及后文“The word “taj” means crown, and “Mahal” was the name of his wife.(“taj”这个词的意思是王冠，“Mahal”是他妻子的名字)”可知，Shah Jahan建造泰姬陵是为了纪念妻子，后文则提到了泰姬陵名字的含义，可见泰姬陵是一座爱情的纪念碑。A选项中it指代上文 Taj Mahal。故A选项“它是爱情的纪念碑”符合语境，故选A。 【17题详解】 根据上文“The Taj Mahal is on the Yamuna River in Agra in northern India.(泰姬陵位于印度北部阿格拉的亚穆纳河上)”以及后文“Its picture is in most travel books and brochures. (它的图片出现在大多数的旅游书籍和宣传册上)”可知，上文提到泰姬陵的地理位置，后文则讲到泰姬陵的照片遍布绝大部分旅游用书和小册子。由此可知，泰姬陵闻名于世，故F选项“对世界上许多人来说，泰姬陵是印度的标志”符合语境，故选F。 【18题详解】 根据上文“As you enter, you pass through beautiful, silent gardens. From the gardens, you cross a wide courtyard. Suddenly, you see the dome of the main building through a tall, red sandstone gate. At daybreak, the Taj Mahal's white walls turn rose. At noon, they blaze white. At dusk, they become dark grey.(当你进入时，你会穿过美丽而安静的花园。从花园出发，你要穿过一个宽阔的庭院。突然，通过一扇高大的红色砂岩门，你看到了主楼的圆顶。黎明时分，泰姬陵的白墙变成了玫瑰色。中午时，它们闪着白光。黄昏时，它们变成了深灰色)”可知，空前讲到泰姬陵的白墙随着一天从早到晚的颜色变化，根据时间顺序，本句应当是晚上泰姬陵的特点。故E选项“泰姬陵在满月光线的照耀下最好看”符合语境，故选E。 【19题详解】 根据上文“Everything is arranged carefully in fours.(所有东西都精心地被安排成4份)”以及后文“The garden is divided into four parts.(花园分为四个部分)”可知，上文讲到花园内的所有东西都精心地被安排成4份，后文也提到花园分为四个部分，可推知本句承接上文进一步解释为什么要分成四份。故B选项“4在伊斯兰教是个特殊的数字”符合语境，故选B。 【20题详解】 根据上文“After hundreds of years, the Taj Mahal remains a lovely and peaceful place.(数百年过去了，泰姬陵仍然是一个可爱而宁静的地方)”可知，该空处于最后一段，起总结作用，空前讲到泰姬陵历经数百年仍是一个美丽安静的地方，故D选项“这个美丽的建筑真是人类的瑰宝”符合语境，故选D。 In the 1860s, John Roebling, a creative engineer, launched the idea of building a bridge connecting Manhattan with Brooklyn, New York.

I smiled back at her. She was looking more relaxed even though she was still busy doing her job. I have noticed her several times this last few months and she always looks so much happier now. Tonight when I talked with her I noticed her name tag. Her name is Pamela. Pamela works at the express checkouts in a busy supermarket. She deals with problems when the self-service checkout experiences a problem (no price on product, machine problems, etc.). She monitors these checkouts and usually has hardly dealt with one complaint before another is created. When I first talked to Pamela, I had called her to the checkout I was using. There wasn’t any problem with the checkout though. What all I cared was about Pamela. She looked tired and was under a lot of stress as she quickly moved from one checkout to the next. It’s a bit of a fire-fighting job. I told Pamela that she needed to slow down. I told her she wasn’t getting paid enough to be working as hard as she was working. I told her that we, the customers, could wait and it was very bad for her health to be putting herself under such pressure. I told her that our expectations were not as hard as the ones she set for herself. Pamela told me she would slow down. I could tell she was touched that not only did I notice her stress but I chose to talk to her about it and was worried about her health. I gently told her things had to change. I told her I would be looking out for her in future to see if she had taken my advice on board. She smiled and said, “I promise that I will next time.” 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式作答。 Para 1 When I saw her she was still doing her job but there was such a difference. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Para 2 I am proud of myself. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考答案 When I saw her she was still doing her job but there was such a difference. I praised the new her. Now Pamela said that other customers would have to wait for their turn while she dealt with another customer. As a result, she wasn't that busy. She told me the change had significantly improved her health. She added that she'd also shared what I said with her colleagues. As I walked away from Pamela my heart was lightened. She has taken my advice on board and tried to slow down her working pace. A day's work means just that. It doesn't mean that one should put two days' work into one day. I am proud of myself. Not only have I caused Pamela to reflect on the stress she was putting herself under, but also she in turn has encouraged her colleagues in the supermarket to do the same. I really feel very happy and satisfied for my concern and act of kindness do make a difference to those in need. It's just a simple act of love costing no money that can solve the problem. So my friends, our kindness doesn't have to be material, but just loving. Bless you all for all you do for others. 【解析】 【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了作者关心超市负责快速结账的员工Pamela，提醒她要注意健康，不要有太大压力的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“当我看到她的时候，她仍然在做她的工作，但却有很大的不同。”可知，第一段可描写作者看到她时，她本人由于听从了作者的建议而发生的变化。 ②由第二段首句内容“我为自己感到骄傲。”可知，第二段可描写作者看到她的变化后自己的感悟。 2.续写线索：看到变化——提出表扬——鼓励同事——收获开心——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①表扬全新的她：praised the new her / was in praise of the new her ②.处理：dealt with/coped with/managed to ③.产生影响：make a difference to /have an influence on/have an impact on 情绪类 ①.宽慰的；放轻松的：lightened/relieved/alleviated ②.感到快乐和满足：feel very happy and satisfied/feel blessed and grateful/feel happy and fulfilled 【点睛】[高分句型1].
